"I was looking for more of a "family" type atmosphere in a job where people care about each other and the people they care for no what their job title is. I found this at Skaalen. I am thankful for this every day!"

Jeannette G.

"I love Skaalen and the people here, the residents are lucky to have the staff. I have not worked at a facility that is always thinking of the residents and what is best for them, and then it actually happens. I am lucky to be a part of it!"
